Happy Friday from BMWM!

It sounds like a mixed bag of weather this weekend, but hopefully everyone can enjoy the arrival of spring despite the snow. I’m sure we don’t have to remind anyone, as the news has been full of information regarding the total solar eclipse we are expecting on Monday, you might want to avoid the Niagara Falls area, which will be the centre point for Ontario. On March 28th, Niagara regional chair Jim Bradley declared a state of emergency for the region as they prepared for the expected arrival of over a million tourists.

The Current Account (click here to read) covers the hundreds stranded in Taiwan after  a massive earthquake, Ford pivoting to hybrids after delaying new electric vehicles, Canadians waiting longer for surgeries compared to before the pandemic, and Canada losing 8.6 million hectares of forest in 2023 mostly due to wildfires.

Taylor’s word of the week is plethora, meaning “a large quantity or wide array; a lot”. For example, there is a plethora of books about the royal family.

Have an amazing weekend,

Brenda, Betina, Matty, and Taylor
